RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

| Mrs. Campbell-Praed and Justin McCar-
| thy, M. P, have in genuine way made an
| experiment in producing combinating nov
ell, ''The Right Honorable" a romance of So
ciety and politics. Every page of it claims
to be joint work written out in combination.
/ The politics and personages, though fanciful,
| give realities which make them seem to be
| real themselves. D. Appleton & Co., pub
fishers, New York. For sale in this city by
| Judd the bookseller.
"Russian Novelists," by E. NJ. de Vogue,
| translated by Jane Loring Edmonds, is
| very interesting volume covering period of
Russian literature. The writer has confined
| himself to the four great contemporary au
| thors whose works are known to us through
recent translations, and has attempted to
show the man as well as his work. He beu
1eves that Gogol, Turgenef, Dostoievsky and
Tolstoi will be of more service to Russia
than all the poets who have ever written,
and gives his reason therefor. All are gov
erned by love of truth as well as justice,
and none aim at literary fame merely. Go
gol with his bitter irony devoted himself to
the study of suffering humanity; Turgenef
pictured it from his own artistic standpoint
rather than from that of an apostle; Tolstoi,
his skeptica1 Investigations being over, has
become the most determined of tho apostles
of the unfortunate, and Dostoisvsky in his
terrible arraignmsnt of the social and politi-
cal condition of things in Russia has sowed
the seeds of sweeping reform. Tho transla-
ton is an excellent one. D. Lothrop & Co.,
publishers, Boston. For sale in this city by
Judd the bookseller.
